Microsoft® PowerPoint 2007

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 is totally a new way of presenting ideas. Smart text is a new feature which helps in presenting the tabular data in a very effective way. Tables, smart texts, charts, slide backgrounds or animations can be previewed before they are actually implemented by just hovering the mouse over the function.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 offers a lot of new features which can enhance your presentation skills by giving the raw data, you are going to present, a total new look. Fast preview function saves time and one can quickly decide the design / layout he wants to choose.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 uses html standard of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 that wipes out all the formatting if your presentation is rich in smart text, new designs and tables from the templates available, as html cannot handle the features added in the application. Another thing to be noticed is that Microsoft Producer is not compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.

Introduction

• Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 is recently released software to make your presentations easy to create and better to present.

Features

• Once you start using Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, it is very difficult to roll back to the previous version. Office button helps you in having a fast and powerful control over all the features like save, print convert and publish.
• SmartArt/Text is one feature which has been praised a lot everywhere. The ease in using that feature and then editing the smart text has added more to it. Above all, it has totally changed the way of presenting tabular data.
• Mouse over preview function is a powerful tool which saves the time and makes it easy for the user to select the design / layout of his choice. This preview function saves the hassle of selecting that design and then removing and selecting another if it’s not desired.
• The powerful integration of Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 with Microsoft Excel 2007 makes it easy to import graphs, and once imported you can select any 3D designs you want for them. You can also change the series and data values while staying in Microsoft PowerPoint hence giving the users enough flexibility to do the work more efficiently.

Usability

• All the new features as well as existing features are pretty easy to use and help you in doing your work faster and even more efficiently.
• Cool edges, simple yet elegant borders, smart shadows and real time previews helps in making your presentation look different and aesthetically very good.
• Themes including colors scheme and heading fonts can easily be taken to other office programs like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word because compared to its older version there is a flawless integration of theme.
• When we say it is easy and fast we mean it. Zoom slider helps you in zooming in and out your presentation without going into any menus.

Limitation

• Converting your presentation to html or running it on another PC having an older version is not easy especially if your presentation contains a lot of new borders and smart art. Saving to an older version of file or converting it to html will lose all the formatting and hence you have to redo all the work to make it look aesthetically better.
• There is no option of adding multiple slides so one should start practicing the clicks as that is what you have to do to insert multiple slides.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 contains very good and advanced tools which will enhance your presentation skills and will make your ideas fly. Hence it is a must update for all those who are making presentations for their managers or are making presentations to sell their products.
